First trip to range with family

[zzrider]

So yesterday I got two of the clan out to the range for the first time: my wife and younger stepdaughter. It was the first time shooting for my stepdaughter, and the first time with a handgun for my wife (besides our NRA class).

They both did really well and a had a great time. My step daughter loved it! She blew through 100 rounds of .22 in the Ruger in no time, and every empty mag was met with great disappointment and a big "awww ".

Obligatory pics:

Stepdaughter with the Ruger:

(gotta work on her stance, but damn she was pretty accurate right off the bat!)

We still have 2 other kids who haven't been to the range yet. I think we're going to go through alot of ammo this summer!

way to go!

i wish i could shoot my beretta but i'm not dipping into my ammo stash.

when the 9mm pops back up the beretta will pop up at the range.

I'm jealous. Despite many years of prodding (and sometimes pleading) I can't get the wife or my 15 year old daughter to go. I KNOW they'll have a good time, but they just won't budge.

+6 great job.

Yeah I hear that. It doesn't help any that I scored two 15-round prebans in Kittery this weekend; just means she blew through 50% more ammo in the same amount of time!

Well, show my pics to your wife and daughter as possible leverage.

lunenburg walmart was supposed to get some 9mm and .40 saturday morning but the clerk didn't know how much or exactly when. they probably got a while box of WWB or something. i've never seen 9mm there. i bought a .45 value pack once.

i hear 'ya on the 15 round mags, too. i have four or five now and the 10 rounders just stay in the safe.

Some day

Some day I will be there with the fam. I have two daughters one is 4 the other is 2, and we have # 3 (the boy) due next week. I told my wife that after the baby she's got to take the nra course. She rolled her eyes, but I know she will do it and I think it will be great to get the fam there in a few years.

Congrats!

Big time. One of these days she's gonna figure out that she's way out of my league.

I keep saying the same about my wife! Glad you got them to the range. My wife has been shooting once, but at 2 y/o and 9 months, my daughters are too young still.
